Hi, I too first install Linux using Mandrake 10.0 from a free CD in a Linux magazine. I was impressed with all the included packages. When Ubuntu was release I thought I would give it a try. Big mistake! Too few packages. Problems with dialup and wireless. All the online documentation assumes that you have a speedy broadband connection. If I want to install a package I need to go to the local library, Clydebank, download the required packages then burn them on a CD. I have worked in the IT business for some years and I thought of introducing myself to Linux apps via Python, mySQL. No development environment was available on the supplied CDs.
I cannot understand why Ubuntu is so popular. It seems to be a repackaging of Debian. It is a step backwords for Linux. I am considering migrating to MEPIS. Does anyone have a MEPIS CD they can give me? Thanks. Joe n 6/3/06, Russell Cassidy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
